To determine if 3062 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3062.
If the factors of 3062 are only 3062 and 1, then we know that 3062 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3062 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3062 is only divisible by 1 and 3062, then it is a prime number, and if 3062 is divisible by more than 3062 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3062 are as follows:
1, 2, 1531, 3062
Therefore, since 3062 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3062 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3063 prime or composite?
